"Prince Jared?" Plaith gently knocked on the door. "It's Teague's coronation day!"

Jared sat up sleepily and rubbed his eyes. "His cornoration?"

"Coronation, you uncultured swine." Teague shouted as he walked by in his black and turquoise suit. Jared opened his eyes to see a fresh green and golden suit lay out for him on the dresser.

"Coronation day..." Jared smiled and stood up, brushing his hair. "A ball...People...fun..." He daydreamed of the undoubtedly brilliant day he'd have. He quickly slid his suit on and slid down on the stairs. He grabbed Plaith and hugged him. "I can't wait to meet everyone! What if I meet THE one?" Jared smiled with excitement. "I know it all ends tomorrow, so it has to be today." Jared ran and stood behind the gates.

Today was the day.

Teague looked out the window at the thousands of people arriving. He looked at himself in the mirror. He looked formal and handsome, just like a prince should. But if you looked deeper, you could see the uncertainty and fear he hid.

"I won't let them in. I won't let them see." He reminded himself.

He looked at the picture of his father holding his scepter at his coronation. It was white. It HAD to be white, Teague knew one slip up would instantly turn it dark and cold. He cursed at no one in particular. Why couldn't he wear his gloves?

He picked up a candlestick without his gloves in a little rehearsal. "Be the true royal you've always had to be." But it was no use. The candle's flame went out and it became stained with darkness.

"Well it's only for today...Guards!" Teague shouted as he opened his bedchamber. "Open up the gates."

Jared's eyes widened and he ran out into the streets. There were people as far as the eye could see, the once empty castle being filled with guests. Jared ran down to the docks but was hit by a white royal horse, knocking him into a little boat. He was sure he'd fall into the warm sea water, but the boat was lifted by a force of fae magic.

He looked up to see a beautiful Fae girl in a white and gold dress with short black hair and purple wings. "Oh I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" She moved the boat onto safe land.

"Me?" Jared enchanted by her beauty. "I'm fine...actually."

"Oh thank fate." She gave him a warm smile. "Oh where are my manners? I'm princess Ever of the Southern isles." She helped him stand and picked a piece of seaweed from his hair.

He gave her a bow. "Price Jared of The Fae."

Ever's eyes widened in horror. "I hit the Prince with my horse?"

Jared chuckled. "Oh no! I'm not THAT Prince. I mean if you hit my brother, Teague..." Jared cringed at the thought. Teague was fairly protective of him. "Luckily, it's just me."

Ever smiled. "Just you?"

Suddenly the coronation bells were heard in the distance and Jared ran off.

Jared stood far to Teague's left as his brother prepared to become the Fae King. Teague's hands shook as he removed his gloves and sat them on the Priest's pillow. He grabbed the scepter and held his breath. The priest chanted the traditional ritual, but Teague could barely hear. His mind was becoming foggy and he felt the darkness flowing into the staff.

"King Teague, of the Fae!" The priest finished and Teague hurriedly grabbed his gloves and put them back on. Everyone excitedly clapped as they migrated to the Ballroom.

Plaith escorted the royals to the stage and they stood formally as their guests chatted away and danced.

"Hi." Teague glanced at Jared, a feeling of superiority filling his veins.

Jared nervously looked around, but then realized, for once, his brother was focused on him alone. "Hi? Hi me?"

Teague inwardly chuckled. His brother was quite socially awkward. "You look fantastic." He smiled.

"Thanks, you look fantasticer. That's not a real word uhm..." Jared was bright red.

Teague laughed, something Jared didn't hear nearly enough. "Thank you. So..this is what a party looks like." Teague looked around the room and saw how everyone respected and admired him. It felt amazing.

"It's warmer than I thought." Jared chuckled.

"And what is that amazing smell?" Teague looked around.

The two inhaled and concluded simultaneously, "Chocolate!" They sighed. They both laughed together.

"This is so nice...I wish it could be like this all the time." Jared smiled at Teague.

"Me too." Teague grinned but it disappeared when reality stepped in. "But it can't."

"Well why not-"

"It just can't." Teague said in a tone that made it clear he was done talking.

"Excuse me..." Jared walked down into the crowd of people and tried to keep his emotions in check, but he was bumped and nearly fell, but was caught by someone.

"Glad I caught you." Ever smiled.
